Location in Matera is incredible, could not be better. They even have parking if you arrive by car. In the absolute heart of the Sassi, this place has amazing views, huge rooms and is steps from the best dining and must see sights highly recommended.

This property has been on Booking.com since Jun 28, 2013.

Only a customer who has booked through Booking.com and stayed at the property in question can write a review. This allows us to verify that our reviews come from real guests like you. Who better to tell others about the free breakfast, friendly staff, or their comfortable room than someone who’s stayed at the property?

We want you to share your story, with both the good and the not-so-good. All we ask is that you follow a few simple guidelines.

Tips for writing a great review

Give us details. People love to hear about the little things. Was the air conditioning working? Was there a chocolate on your pillow? We like long reviews, so you should try to write at least 50 words.

Be candid. Give us your honest opinion. We’ll never remove a review just because it’s negative. We promise.

Be relevant. The best reviews provide constructive information that helps other travelers make better choices. Stay on topic and avoid content that others might find offensive.

Sometimes we'll remove reviews if they include any of the following:

Objectionable material. This includes insulting or discriminatory remarks, swearing, or other offensive language.

Private information. To protect your (and others') privacy we do not display reviews that include email addresses or phone numbers.

Sensitive information. We don't display reviews that contain information with possible legal implications. This includes references to suspected illegal conduct or allusions to lost or stolen items. In such sensitive cases, please contact our Customer Service Team, who will be happy to help.

Irrelevant topics. This includes promotional content and politically sensitive subjects.

In some rare cases, neither the written review nor the review score can be displayed. This only happens if:

Key information is missing. A few review questions are mandatory. If these aren’t answered, we aren't able to calculate a fair review score, so we can't display the review.

You didn’t stay at the property. When necessary, we’ll confirm this information with both you and the property owner.

You made a mistake. Everyone makes mistakes. We won’t post yours. If you reviewed a different property from the one you booked, let us know. We can fix it so that your review shows with the right property.

The review is a fake. If there's any indication that a review is not authentic or is in any way fraudulent, it will be flagged during the moderation process.

There is air-conditioner, but it was hard for the cool air to spread to the other part of the room. There were mosquitos in the room, but they were not disturbing.

Friendly staff. Nice view for the room window. Location okay. Taxi can access quite near to the room.

This was not a bad experience as such, but I recommend that you ask for advice on how to use the air conditioning and how to open the flyscreens on the windows at the time that the host checks you in.

This property is in the heart of the historic zone, across the road from the Chiesa dei Santi Pietro e Paolo al Sasso Caveoso. It is close to the few nearby restaurants and it is a short walk to the main restaurant zone further up the hill.
The warm and welcoming host speaks little or no English, and I speak no Italian, but we managed to communicate. There was good wifi, with the connexion made easier if you can use the QR code reader on your phone.
Car access is easy for dropping off your luggage, but you will need to find parking about 500 metres away.

Nothing - it was just perfect!

Location: excellent!!! You are right in the center of the sassi district. Style: the room was very charming and cosy, with nice, old furniture and a beautiful terracotta floor. There is bottled water and a coffee machine with coffee that one can use for free. Staff: The owner is very helpful and nice. She helped us to find free parking for our car and even offered us one of their own parking slots in the sassier zone, where there is limited traffic.

Perfect location right where I think most people would like to be if staying in the sassi. We loved it! The room was big and gorgeous, wifi worked great (I could FaceTime home), and we were able to park our car right outside. We didn't realize how amazing a location it was in and therefore had a bit of trouble finding it, but Michele saved the day and somehow by chance found us AND knew who we were while wandering a side alley and led us to his place. Tip: it's on the left side of the main road just before it opens up to the piazza overlooking the valley. Across from the Panecotto restaurant.

The Sassi is not easy to get into by car, take that into consideration but it is well worth the effort.

Location in Matera is incredible, could not be better. They even have parking if you arrive by car. In the absolute heart of the Sassi, this place has amazing views, huge rooms and is steps from the best dining and must see sights highly recommended.
